Re: Shahid Afridi gets into a scuffle at Karachi Airport
Guys this is a cultural issue. You have to ask one pathan how he would react and whether he agrees with Afridi's behaviour. Hence you see waleed siding with afridi.. Also that is how pathans are in pakistan. That what makes afridi who he has been in his hay days. Thats why they use to yell out "Power of pathan" when he used to hit those unbelievably massive sixes even though the ball was not there to be hit for a six.
However what did pcb do to train him over his career so that he became more suited to being an ambassador. Maybe PCB should make a statement in reference to him along these lines " We do not condone or condemn his behaviour. He is a pathan. We do not consider him to be an ambassador of Pakistani nation. He is selected for his cricketing skills only"
Many aussie plays used to be quite wild in the 80s. Wasim and waqar were really wild in the beginning. I think wasim still is. Afridi just did not change and that is why he is Afridi, a unique pedigree of a cricketer, an enigma, but to a pathan, he may just be an average guy.

not saying that waleed is a pathan...just saying that waleed realizes this aspect of afridi and his other respo se tells that evn if he maynot be a pathan he sure thinks like one...
sorry waleed...dont take it negatively bro..just clarifying.
Re: Shahid Afridi gets into a scuffle at Karachi Airport
Video only shows Afridi's reaction.... not the action of other person. I am not a fan of Afridi but if he did it coz his daughter was pushed by someone.... or someone saying something nasty to him in front of his daughter then i totally back Afridi on this one.
The Afridi on karachi airport tonight, was NOT a Cricketer. He was FATHER, who lost it, when he saw his daugher down on the floor, hurt and crying. My respect for Lala just went through the roof. I don't have any kids, but I'd tear anyone apart if they did anything bad to my Nephew.
Some one pushed his daughter and thats why he got angry .....
Ok why would he just get angry for no reason ?
He is a father first if somebody would have done it to my nephew i would have been pissed off
People who are saying the kid wasn't there should go on twitterverse to check their facts...people who interviewed him and were eyewitnesses said his daughters were waiting for him outside of the car. Had someone pushed my daughter I would have beaten the crap out of them as well. Simple as that!
So, which one of you have seen his daughter being pushed by the guy or someone stepping on her toe in any of the pictures. Can you please post that because I would love to see that.

I disagree with any prejudicism, to call them as 'not ambassador of Pakistan' goes way beyond IMO.
Re: Shahid Afridi gets into a scuffle at Karachi Airport
Comments from Indians, i can understand their jealousy, i hope they find some cure for it, instead of spilling it here.
Comments from Pakistanis, who says, Afridi should have not, or he is giving a cover up drama, such thankless people you all are. no wonder we cannot progress. thats a shame.
Re: Shahid Afridi gets into a scuffle at Karachi Airport
so pathans are jangli janwar types? vutt is dis?
no yaar...they are warriors traditionally....and that is why afridi bats with a warrior type approach...hence they get angry quickly as well..
he is not a rahul dravid...tuk tuk..four....1 then 2.....he is bam boom...
it also shows in his mannerism...
thats what i meant...
Re: Shahid Afridi gets into a scuffle at Karachi Airport
i dont think you know how wars are fought then pal. your idea of "warrior" is an ullu. dimaagh and strategy are key to be a good warrior. plus don't pathans get offended when people say such idiotic stuff about them?

aray bhai i mean...if pcb wants to clean itself of questions regarding his actions...they could make this statement ..that players may not necessarily be considered ambassadors...lets take them as players only...they are their for the skill that was thought to be needed. period . ab samjhay kiya keh raha tha...
